This.

This family just seems to have always done everything right. Even the Genovese/Costello incident was short lived and settled quickly. Nothing like the Colombo or "Banana" wars, or the Amuso/Gaspipe bloodbath. Or Phily under Scarfo. Costello just retires, peace is restored and the wheels were moving again.
